Currently: Happy that I was able to get down a little over 1,200 words tonight. My goal is around 800 words per night until May 31st. Last night I only had 400 so I had to make up for it tonight.

Listening: To nothing.

Loving: That it was a warm day and we got to play outside tonight and that summer break is less than 25 days away now. Also, I gave my husband the gift I got him today--the expression on his face was priceless!

Thinking: About my little sons--they've been very naughty the past two nights. What's the deal and how do I reign them in without being a great big meany?

Wanting: It to be the weekend and for all my lesson planning to be done.

I have 17 more days to complete my book. That's 4.5 chapters in 17 days. That's 1 chapter every 3.8 days. That's 795 words a day for the next 17 days. I love this book. I love what it's done to me mentally. But I also love that it's almost over. Well, at least the first draft part. Then I'm stepping away from it for 1 month (until July 1st). Then it's on to HARD CORE editing mode. Hopefully by mid-July I'll be fully into my 2nd draft when I head to the writer's conference. Oh. Boy.
